Our work together is a collaboration to reach goals that are in alignment with what brings you peace and joy. I emphasize respect, kindness, and authenticity in order to highlight the balance I believe is needed in developing meaningful relationships. One of my great curiosities in therapy is to learn what those terms mean to my clients and how their presence has shaped who they are.

I believe that something powerful happens when we are seen, heard, and equipped with dignity and support. Counseling is a transformative process that can promote healing, hope, and change as we navigate the challenges that come with being human. I approach therapy through a person-centered, narrative, and family-systems framework. This means that the therapeutic process is centered around your story, your context, and your intersecting identities. I also prioritize trauma-informed care and utilize EMDR to help clients move from feeling stuck in the past to safe and empowered in the present.

New client opening: Wednesdays at 3pm (updated 3/3/25). We are all born with good intentions and infinite possibilities, but sometimes, life knocks us off our path. Our past experiences shape who we are today, including what our relationships look like with ourselves and others, but despite whatever tragic events that have occurred during our life, we are all driven towards resiliency. Except this is where we can get stuck: when we find that what we used to do, what we've always done, isn't working anymore, we need to find another way.

Reasons for seeking therapy are unique to each of us; we may suffer due to difficult relationships, grief, loss, neglect or may just feel lost, stuck, or empty. Symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, hold information for us and can be invitations to growth that lead to new ways of knowing ourselves. Regular encounters of support, validation, and connection in a non-judgmental environment allow us to explore and sort out the chaos that comes at us and churns within us daily.

Healing is possible. There have been times in my own life when it felt impossible to experience the life I was meant to live, the joy we are meant to experience, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. If you are there right now, or you feel like you are chained to your past and patterns that keep you from moving forward into hope, peace, and joy, you can overcome. I would love to partner with you on your journey forward.

At times the hurt, anger, anxiety or confusion brought on by life's challenges leaves us stuck or acting ineffectively, unable to determine our best next steps. During these times it can useful to have a guide, someone to help us identify our options, discover opportunities, provide tools for overcoming obstacles, and offer support as we heal and grow. This is my role as a therapist.

When you are looking for a therapist you want someone who will listen, and who will hear your story without passing judgment. Once your story is told you hope your therapist can help you look at your situation from some different perspectives, and help you identify the limiting filters that you may use to view your world, so that you have more choices and possibilities in confronting and moving through tough times.

I am NOT accepting new clients at this time. I have a passion for working with people of all ages, but there is a special place in my heart for kids and teens. I believe clients should feel comfortable in therapy. As a former foster parent and an adoptive mom of 3 boys, I know that families are complicated and messy. I would love to work with you and your family to strengthen your relationships. I work with neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, etc.), trauma, depression, anxiety, social skills issues and general wellness. I use techniques from DBT, Family Systems, and Attachment Theory and more.

Life is good but sometimes it leaves a mark. The roots of our struggles can run deep, and often the actions we take to recover end up causing even more problems, leading to overwhelming hopelessness and disappointment. I believe that sharing your history and struggles in a safe and supported environment can give you space to see what is getting in your way, clarity to know what you can change, and strength to approach your situation differently and more effectively. My goal is to help you find insight, hope and determination to explore and remove the burden of past traumas, mistakes and damaging beliefs and to offer a path forward.

During significant life transitions, feelings of groundlessness can arise, often manifesting as anxiety, loneliness, relational distress, low self-worth, or insecurity. While these feelings can be deeply distressing, they also present a unique opportunity to explore and understand ourselves in profound new ways.

Experiencing trauma, loss, or upheaval is destabilizing and isolating. It can erode the relationships we value the most while making us call into question our sense of identity. Even if we avoid consciously thinking about it, the imprint of our past can wreak havoc on our physical health, our nervous system, and our present experience. The healing process asks us tune into our intuition and our bodies so that we can notice which parts of ourselves most need our attention and care. I can offer tools and support for those seeking to regain a sense of safety and connection with themselves, others, and the world around them.
